Description
This course includes an introduction to fundamental concepts in bioinformatics and genetic epidemiology and will explore methods to determine if a trait is genetic, traditional and family-based association studies, concepts for haplotype blocks and tagging-SNPs, and an overview of both parametric and non-parametric linkage methods. The course will have a short introduction to terminology and concepts, although it is strongly recommended that students will to have had an introduction to genetics concepts in their undergraduate coursework. This course serves as the first course for students who wish to take more advanced courses in these topics. (Required for all biomedical informatics graduate students.)
